Billboard Presents Bud Light Backyard at CMA Fest Day Two Brings Vibrant Sets from Dasha, LOCASH and George Birge

The event during CMA Fest featured rousing sets from Dasha, LOCASH and George Birge.

Birge, formerly of popular Texas duo Waterloo Revival, has been cutting out a strong solo career for himself even before signing with RECORDS Nashville, based on the strength of the simmering “Mind on You.” He just followed up his debut album with a seven-song EP, Cowboy Songs.
